One question about a 610 station wagon (estate) gear box/transmission.
Today, cruising down my neighborhood, Redondo Beach, in California, I drove by a restaurant(chinesse food), and saw a parked 510, lowered, with 240 Z 14 inch wheels, chromed, light green color, looked like it was some Datsun enthusiast. I drove in, in my B210, lowered, 13X8, 215 /50/13 tires, konis, intimidating for any fellow Datsun fan, nobody knows I still have a stock A14 engine,although it has a 32/36 Weber, anyways, I parked next to his 510, and , sorry to say, because I know there are big diameter fans around, my 13X8 lowered 215's Datsun looked impresive next to the 14X4.5 wheels the 510 had,well, I inquired inside and the owner came out, it was the chef's car, and he gladly came out and exchanged info and other Datsun stuff. He told me he has a 610(180B) station wagon he 's parting out, and he told me he has a 5 speed tranny for me...(my 180B is a auto, which I intend to correct.)... My question is, for 80 US bucks I can get this gear box/transmission. Anybody knows about this tranny/Gbox? is it good, would it be better or about same to a 280ZX one? need some advise, because I am ready to buy it, for the price it is cool, so waiting for some expert advise.
